Por: @rulobn Actualmente no existe una fórmula para que un disco debut sea exitoso y trascendental. Tampoco existen razones en común que conecten a los 10 álbumes que menciono en este artículo; sin embargo, siempre hay una historia sencilla o compleja que detrás de un primer disco, hace de éste un momento poco trascendental y que únicamente sirve de referencia tras un camino de esfuerzos y nuevos álbumes. Con el paso de los años, algunos de estos debuts se vuelven de culto, otros gozan de una nostalgia que vive del recuerdo y mucho más, simplemente son [...]

Colaborador asiduo de artistas como Gonzales , Feist, Beck y Mocky , Lidell también ha trabajado con Grizzly Bear en la canción Little Brother , ha participado en las vocales de temas como Put Your Hands Together de Simian [...]

Today we begin our 2012 Annual Report by recapping the year in news. Since January 1st, the staff of Consequence of Sound has posted over 4,500 news stories, ranging from album and tour announcements to the death of M.C.A. and the trials and tribulations of Pussy Riot.

Jack Black emotes with Tenacious D at the main stage, Sasquatch 2012. Ok, this has been up for a couple of days, but I've been busy working a new gig, so DEAL!

Photo by Ted Maider Most people who came to Sasquatch! camped in tents and RVs in either the more peaceful VIP camping section or the favela on the hill camping section. Fellow writer/photographer Harley and I were in the very small minority of people who drove home every night after the whole festival was over. During the night drive back to Quincy, WA, we'd try to suss out and synthesize the day's music, the people we saw, what costumes they were wearing, what native culture those costumes were appropriating, the things that were mumbled [...]

Be warned: I may use the term "Show of the Day" more than once. You're now more prepared for the final day's review of Sasquatch. I shall now get right to the music. The Sheepdogs opened the day with a bang. "Show of the Day"! Didn't think it would come that early did you? Well, here's why they're contenders for that title: They rocked so hard at noon on the final day of a four day music festival that people started randomly log-rolling down the gorge conjuring images of [...]

Been an unbelievable experience thus far, hasn't it? Today Sasquatch goes out with a lot of tree rustling (get the Bigfoot reference?). If you haven't realized sleep is for Tuesday, I'm annoyed. You don't go to a music festival to sleep. The Sheepdogs will be kicking things off at midday, beginning an onslaught of strong scheduling clashes and forced choices from then on. The Sasquatch stage has a stacked line up from it's start, as does the Bigfoot stage . How can you choose between [...]
Yes I realize that technically we're a week late on this mix, but we wanted to do the yearly Sasquatch! Music Festival edition mix early. In years past we've released these closer to the... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com

Good things come in tens, not threes. At least that's the way I look at it. Yet, that statement makes this playlist title make even less since it's Vol. 1. and there are no others. Yes, we plan on making more. We wouldn't tease you with a Volume 1 and hold all of the rest back. That would be like Jay-Z coming out with In My Lifetime, then going dark on us. Not cool. We get it. We won't let you down. We'll start our Vol. 1 off strong. Our list holds up to its name too because [...]
